San Mateo County History Museum FREE First Fridays

The San Mateo County History Museum continues its “FREE First Fridays” program on January 3, 2025. Not only is admission free the entire day (10 a.m. until 4 p.m.), but two programs are planned for the public without any fees. At 11 a.m., preschoolers can join Museum staff and learn about innovators and inventions. They will make their own paper bag robots to take home. Then, Museum staff will conduct a reading within its new Peninsula Innovators Changing the World exhibit. There the youngsters will hear the story, Boy & Bot. At 2 p.m., Museum docents will lead a tour of the museum for adults.

The San Mateo County History Museum is located at 2200 Broadway within the 115-year-old “Old Courthouse” in Redwood City. It features exhibits related to the use of natural resources, suburban development, ethnic experience, and entrepreneurial achievement on the Peninsula from the time of Ohlone Indian through today. The Museum is open every day except Monday, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The “FREE First Fridays” program is sponsored by Monterra Credit Union.
